@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Wait, what!? We’re dropping Gemini support!?

@quark@ferengi.one HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com ooooh! It’s that kind mission! /me stands, salutes, turns around, and exits the room. LOL.

@quark@ferengi.one HAHA I wish! but no. It’s actually

FIN?

FIN?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com why, having a party with lots of libations? LOL.

as a matter of fact! don’t mind anything I do/say for the next 72 hours xD

Don’t mind this twt!

if twtxt 2 is dropping gemini support, i will probably move on and spend more time on my gemini social zine protocol instead. i think the direction of the protocol is probably fine, but for me web is a tier 2 publishing channel. if the choice is between gemini and http i’m always going to pick gemini. its been a fun ride, but i guess this is where i get off.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org If rsync is interrupted, it doesn’t delete any files that were transferred completely so it will “resume” from that last complete transfer. However, it does delete any partially transferred file. --partial keeps that partial file around on the destination machine so it can continue right where it left off.

I usually end up using -rtz because I’m usually not 100% sure all the permissions and ownership information are right and I hate littering directories with inconsistent permissions. For a big transfer, I’ll start with -rtvz --stats --dry-run and make sure it’s only transferring the files it should, then I’ll do -rtz --stats --info=progress2 --no-i-r to get one progress bar to watch for the whole transfer.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net This is exciting news! Two of the most important privacy tools joining forces. Now, if we could get a Monero wallet included in Tails alongside Electrum, we’d really have something. :)

@prologic@twtxt.net that “little database that could” is simply amazing, isn’t it? I run Conduwuit (nevermind, this one is RocksDB), and GoToSocial using it as a backend, no issues. And, of course, sqlite is the database of choice for a lot of things under iOS.

No reason I haven’t switched. I trust Gitea (for now).

#PontosDeMacumba é o tema da #musiquinta desta semana, e a foto de hoje é do disco dos Orifice, “Live at Pida’s Peep Show Club”, por causa da sua última música: “Macumba”.

A referência fica aqui, mas sem link, que, que eu saiba, a discografia dos Orifice só esteve online nos tempos do MySpace.

@prologic@twtxt.net, are you running Gitea with an SQL backend, or using sqlite? Any reason have haven’t moved to Forgejo?

@david@collantes.us Yup! 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net a wise plan! Who knows, ideas change, and often plans do not hash, right? Mature, mature! :-)

@david@collantes.us Staying private until I’ve matured them a bit more 😅

@xuu@txt.sour.is was that 2% picked out randomly? I like it! LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net I like the, allegedly, original:

“It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience.”

Not as simple as the interpretation you used, yet often context is king (or queen).

@prologic@twtxt.net and one could say that “for every simple problem, there is a solution that’s confusing, convoluted, and right.” :-P

@prologic@twtxt.net so, where are they? I want to take a peek at HomeTunnel (even though I don’t a use case for it at the moment). Show us repos! :-P

I’ll write a complaint to the main Gopher server and the hurricane will pass you by.

If Khzae closes soon I will have a panic attack and will start having fits again.

Hurricane Helene is coming right for me. Yay! And FSU sucks this season, too. :(

@david@collantes.us yeah what @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org said. 😅 and I just chickened out seeing bigger numbers than usual.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and @movq@www.uninformativ.de thanks for sharing those options, they’re a good point to start from. Much appreciated! 🙏

@mckinley@twtxt.net I mean, yes! I’ve heard a lot of good things about how efficient of a tool it is for backup and all; and I’m willing to spend the time and learn. It’s just that seeing those +400 possible options was a buzz-kill. 🫣 luckily @lyse and @movq shared their most used options!

“For every complex problem, there is a solution that is clear, simple, and wrong.”

Also, I’m not editing the original post. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net ha ha yes ideally one day I would love it if Twt hashes referenced at least any yarnd clients were automatically linked. 🤣

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

The beauty of simplicity lies in not losing the essence.

Last day to have your say before our monthly online meetup 👋

http://polljunkie.com/poll/xdgjib/twtxt-v2

I’d like to see them fine me 2% of zero dollars

@david@collantes.us having offsets were nice because it gives you context of where the user is in relation to you.

@prologic@twtxt.net thanks. I hate it. Might as well use UUID

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thank you! Raining is starting to fall very steadily. All good so far. Wife’s home, a nice meal simmers. Ah! :-D

Hurricane Helene is passing by. Close enough to give us a day off tomorrow, but not that close to cause major harm. Well, we think. Hurricanes often have a mind of their own, and decide changes on their path. Either way, I shall be back at work on Friday 😩. LOL.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org on this:

3.2 Timestamps: I feel no need to mandate UTC. Timezones are fine with me. But I could also live with this new restriction. I fail to see, though, how this change would make things any easier compared to the original format.

Exactly! If anything it will make things more complicated, no?

I hear from sources that Khzae will soon shut down. I hope am wrong.

Episódio estranho num táxi em Coimbra. Entrei depois de sair do comboio, e o taxista disse-me logo que tinha de pagar em dinheiro porque não tinha MB. Tudo ok, vamos lá. Quando chegámos ao destino, situação bem estranha:

– Ora bem, são 6.70€
– Ok, vou é precisar de fatura
– Ah não, fatura não tenho
– Como assim?
– Não posso passar fatura
– OK, então temos um problema porque eu tenho de declarar a despesa
– Amigo não lhe posso fazer nada, se não quiser não pague
– o_O como? É assim?
– Pois, se quiser não pague e vá à sua vida
– Ok, uma boa tarde para o senhor
– Boa tarde

O senhor não foi nada mal-educado, simplesmente encolheu os ombros. E eu lá fui à minha vida, sem pagar.

Um belo verbo encontrado nos meandros do desenvolvimento web: “transpilar”

@anth@a.9srv.net Thank you I’ll have a read 👌

This is only first draft quality, but I made some notes on the #twtxt v2 proposal. http://a.9srv.net/b/2024-09-25

Monthly sign of life. We’re good.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk i’m just saying that your argument, better support better clients and worrying less about the actual underlying raw Twtxt feed. so the simplicity argument is a bit weaker here.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk This is an argument for better clients really and less worry about the “transport” – the raw Twtxt feed file.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk CPU cost of calculating hashes are negligible

O meu artigo na #PCGuia sobre o @ardour@ardour saiu em papel há uns meses, mas entretanto também foi disponibilizado digital e gratuitamente - ler é aqui:

https://www.pcguia.pt/2024/08/usar-o-ardour-para-fazer-producao-de-audio/

No, json is overhead. I love twtxt for simplicity where blog is just text file and not several json files where fields are repeated…

yes that works

@sorenpeter@darch.dk this will show broken, because you are hellbent on editing twtxts, aren’t you? :-D

(#2024-09-24T12:53:35Z) What does this screenshot show? The resolution it too low for reading the text…

(#2024-09-24T12:45:54Z) @prologic@twtxt.net I’m not really buying this one about readability. It’s easy to recognize that this is a URL and a date, so you skim over it like you would we mentions and markdown links and images. If you are not suppose to read the raw file, then we might a well jam everything into JSON like mastodon

(#2024-09-24T12:44:35Z) There is a increase in space/memory for sure. But calculating the hashes also takes up CPU. I’m not good with that kind of math, but it’s a tradeoff either way.

(#2024-09-24T12:39:32Z) @prologic@twtxt.net It might be simple for you to run echo -e "\t\t" | sha256sum | base64, but for people who are not comfortable in a terminal and got their dev env set up, then that is magic, compared to the simplicity of just copy/pasting what you see in a textfile into another textfile – Basically what @movq@www.uninformativ.de also said. I’m also on team extreme minimalism, otherwise we could just use mastodon etc. Replacing line-breaks with a tab would also make it easier to handwrite your twtxt. You don’t have to hardwrite it, but at least you should have the option to. Just as i do with all my HTML and CSS.

(#2024-09-24T12:34:31Z) WebMentions does would work if we agreed to implement it correctly. I never figured out how yarnd’s WebMentions work, so I decide to make my own, which I’m the only one using…

I had a look at WebSub, witch looks way more complex than WebMentions, and seem to need a lot more overhead. We don’t need near realtime. We just need a way to notify someone that someone they don’t know about mentioned or replied to their post.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org aha! Just like Bash would do. I figure -- is way too broad to start an autocomplete. Got to feed it a bit more! :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha 😝

lol, this flags looks like russian name

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that -P is a life saver when running rsync over spotty connections. In my very illiterate opinion, it should always be a default.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Now increase the indexes on the Twt Subject form 7 bytes to 64 bytes 😈

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Congrats 🙌

Hmm this question has a leading “Yes” in favor of so far with 13 votes:

Should we formally support edit and deletion requests?

Thanks y’all for voting (it’s all anonymous so I have no idea who’s voted for what!)

If you haven’t already had your say, please do so here: http://polljunkie.com/poll/xdgjib/twtxt-v2 – This is my feeble attempt at trying to ascertain the voice of the greater community with ideas of a Twtxt v2 specification (which I’m hoping will just be an improved specification of what we largely have already built to date with some small but important improvements 🤞)

Starting a couple of new projects (geez where do I find the time?!):

HomeTunnel:

HomeTunnel is a self-hosted solution that combines secure tunneling, proxying, and automation to create your own private cloud. Utilizing Wireguard for VPN, Caddy for reverse proxying, and Traefik for service routing, HomeTunnel allows you to securely expose your home network services (such as Gitea, Poste.io, etc.) to the Internet. With seamless automation and on-demand TLS, HomeTunnel gives you the power to manage your own cloud-like environment with the control and privacy of self-hosting.

CraneOps:

craneops is an open-source operator framework, written in Go, that allows self-hosters to automate the deployment and management of infrastructure and applications. Inspired by Kubernetes operators, CraneOps uses declarative YAML Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to manage Docker Swarm deployments on Proxmox VE clusters.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think all replies are missing the fact that your auto-completion isn’t working. LOL. Or did I misunderstood?

I think that’s one of the worst aspects of the proposed idea of location-based addressing or identity. The fact that Alice reads Twt A and Bob reads Twt A at the same location, but Alice and Bob could have in fact read very different content entirely. It is no longer possible to have consistency in a decentralised way that works properly.

One could argue this is fine, because we’re so small and nothing matters, but it’s a properly I rely on fairly heavily in yarnd, a properly that if lost would have significant impact on how yarnd works I think. 🤔

Unless I”m missing something here 🤔 But a <url> <timestamp> does not for me identify an individual Twt, it only identifies its location, which may or may not have changed since I last saw a version of it hmmm 🧐

Also I’m not even sure I can validly cache, let alone index feeds anymore if we do this, because if the structure of a Twt is cuh that I can no longer trust that an individual Twt’s content hasn’t been changed at the source, what’s the point of caching or indexing individual twts at all? This makes the implementations of yarnd and yarns (the search engine, crawlers and indexer) kind of hard to reason about.

Also you’re right I guess. But still that also requires the author not to change the timestamp too. Hmmm

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think there’s any misunderstand at all. I just treat every lines in a feed as an individual entity. These are stored on their own.
